The majority of the U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) stood silently with their hands clasped behind their backs during the playing of the national anthem before Friday’s Women’s World Cup opener against Vietnam.
The USWNT has had quite a different relationship with the on-field conduct regarding their anthem. The U.S. Women have frequently protested their nation’s anthem at games in the U.S. and worldwide.
Several United States players, including United States forward Megan Rapinoe and United States defender Crystal Dunn , are seen taking a kneel during the singing of the national anthem in action during an International friendly match between the United States and Colombia on January 18, 2021, at Explora Stadium in Orlando, FL.
Lindsey Horan #9 of the USWNT kneels during a game between Sweden and USWNT at Tokyo Stadium on July 21, 2021, in Tokyo, Japan. The USWNT protests were led by longtime team member Megan Rapinoe, who gained national notoriety for becoming the first female athlete to kneel after former 49er QB Colin Kaepernick began his protests in the preseason of 2016.
Megan Rapinoe, #15 of the United States, kneels during a game between England and USWNT at Wembley Stadium on October 7, 2022, in London, England.
